TVLine's 2012 Dream Emmy Nominees -- Did Your Favorites Make the Cut?

In honor of the actual Emmy nods being announced this Thursday morning, Team TVLine thought it would be fitting to unleash some positive energy into the atmosphere in the form of our dream nominations.

The parameters for Emmy nominations are way too narrow for the many genres of programming on 100 TV networks. Traditionally some of the best and most popular Sci-Fi shows, such as the original Star Trek and FireFly, didn’t reach the fan frenzy level until they were cancelled. There are currently a number of very well done Sci-Fi programs on air that should be nominated for Emmys in multiple categories.

Probably because True Blood is a hokey guilty pleasure show that the Emmy’s aren’t going to take seriously. I like it and it’s a fun show, but come one let’s be serious here. And it isn’t scifi either. It’s fantasy. Nothing on that show has anything to do with science fiction.

I love New Girl but it’s a shame it gets more Emmy attention than Happy Endings. Happy Endings is a similar, albeit BETTER show. It has wittier writing, a funnier cast and smarter, far less lewd comedy.

How is Vincent Kartheiser NEVER in the conversation for acting nods?! He was amazing this season and I’d say him and Christina Hendricks carried season 5 of Mad Men. If anyone in Mad Men gets an acting nom then it should be Vincent Kartheiser and/or Christina Hendricks.
